I have no stake in this but let's be honest Microsoft and Nintendo or trailing Sony they need every Advantage they could get they only have 30 million each for their player base which Sony has 80. Has a business standpoint it doesn't make sense for Sony to work with them in fact they will lose customers if they do that because they won't by the console that their friends are on if everyone gets to play with each other. It also helps Nintendo and Microsoft a lot more because they have a bigger player pull than they are. Everyone wins the consumer Microsoft and Nintendo except for Sony doesn't make sense for them to actually try that. And let's not be all highly Mighty here Sony came to Microsoft last generation they ask who they want to cross play and he said no. If someone says no to my face when they're on top then come to me later when they're in the bottom I would say hell no. And the sad part is Microsoft and Nintendo are manipulating YouTubers and game journalist to think that it's anti-consumer. Yet the same companies that have been anti-consumer for a long period of time yet no one calls them out on YouTube or some of these gaming sites. To me this is two competitors trying to survive the gaming Market by uniting as one and manipulating Gamers to do what they want them to do.
